With many voices and in many tongues: pseudotradução, autorrefração e profundidade cultural na ficção de J.R.R. Tolkien

Pseudotradução
Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho pretende demonstrar que a pseudotradução (compreendida como a apresentação de um texto ficcional original como se fosse uma tradução de um original que não existe) e a autorrefração (ou seja, a recriação, pelo próprio autor, de um texto seu em outro contexto, formato ou forma literária) são elementos centrais para a poderosa ilusão de profundidade cultural conjurada pela obra de J.R.R. Tolkien. Ao apresentar uma elaborada moldura metanarrativa, que postula a existência de manuscritos antigos, longas cadeias de transmissão e adaptação de textos e múltiplos idiomas nos quais essa transmissão se dá, Tolkien dá um passo crucial para aproximar sua obra das mitologias reais.

Abstract in English
This dissertation aims to show that pseudotranslation (defined as the presentation of an original, fictional text as a translation of a foreign text that does not actually exist) and self-refraction (that is, the recreation, by the author himself, of one of his texts in a different cultural context, format or literary form) are key elements for the powerful illusion of cultural depth conjured up by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. By presenting an elaborate metanarrative framework and postulating the existence of ancient manuscripts, long chains of cultural transmission and adaptation and multiple languages in which such transmission occurs, Tolkien takes a crucial step to bring his works to the same level of real mythologies.
